If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

This is just beyond awful, Gerri. Isn't there some kind of medical review board you can complain to? In the US, this would constitute malpractice.

The other is as if everything is.

Gerri,
You've gotten plenty of good suggestions from others. I just wanted to let you know I'm hoping you can find some decent medical care because what you are getting is just plain awful.

Gerri, I have to comment on this one because I know from experience that losing weight is not the answer! I tried many different meds, most of them sending me straight to the hospital whether it be allergic reaction or side effects. I kept reading about weight loss and building muscle around the "bad" joints so I figured it was worth a shot. I changed my diet and began excersizing intensely and lost 6 sizes! While my body does seem much stronger, the pain is the same. I do believe it is important to take care of our bodies, but losing weight is no fix for AS. Stupid doctors! If only it were that simple.
